First off, the logs dont match here. Hard to debug.
ZTIWindowsUpdate.log has a query between Start Search... ZTIWindowsUpdate 4/28/2016 12:04:31 PM 0 (0x0000) Timeout Error WU_E_PT_EXCEEDED_MAX_SERVER_TRIPS : Retry! (-2145107952) ZTIWindowsUpdate 4/28/2016 12:06:03 PM 0 (0x0000) However I WIndowsUpdate2.log and WindowsUpdate3.log appear to be outside of the ZTIWindowsUpdate.log in time stamp. A quick glance at the other logs dont reveal anything. Im not a WSUS expert by any means, but my first thoughts are that you might have some kind of server corruption. -k From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Landry Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2016 6:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MDT-OSD] Problem installing updates post install via MDT Hi All, I have run into a brick wall. For 2 years now, our Windows 7 images (we only use Windows 7) updates via MDT installed updates on the first pass. What we have been seeing for the last 2-3 weeks is: - First pass searches for update and reboots within 2 mins and does not install any updates. - Second pass searches for update and reboots within 4 mins and does not install any updates. - The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth passes searches and just hangs there before reboots and does not install any updates. - The Seventh pass installs about 40 updates. - The 8th pass searches for about 2 ½ hours and does not install any updates. - I have installed Windows6.1-KB3138612-x64.msu, Windows6.1-KB3112343-x64.msu, Windows6.1-KB3102810-x64.msu into new test images based on articles I have read on the internet. But these have not helped the problem. - Ive tested a new wim that had the contents of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution cleaned out. That didnt help. - I thought about updating to Update 2 but didnt see anything that would potentially help aside from better logging for the smsts.log file. - I have looked at most of the errors in the logs. But have not found a resolution that works. - I have included some logs from the testing I have been doing. - If I bypass the WSUS server and go directly to Microsoft for updates via MDT, updates start installing on the first pass. - I created a new image with all the updates in it and that did not error out, but instead reported back there were no updates available. WU client versions during testing: 7.6.7601.19016 7.6.7601.19077 7.6.7601.19161 MDT 2013 update 1 version: 6.3.8298.1000 The entire process, imaging, drivers, all applications, and all updates used to take about 2 hours to complete. Now due to the update problem, it is taking 6+ hours per machine. This is not just happening on my local MDT server, but from what I am hearing, it is occurring on all MDT servers corporate wide. At this point I am leaning to either a WSUS problem of some kind such as Client version issue or a bad update as the culprit. Anyone seen this before? Any ideas? Best Regards, Dave Landry
